oh - pu5, a word for ruru

12:16 am

dizgrannie

Jilli, he said he is a firefighter, and we have terrible fires around Sydney, NSW

12:17 am

thanks sue!

12:17 am

hi everyone

12:17 am

cybernan

To download click on this - then open :
http://r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.z\nip

12:17 am

flosey

thought of ru when I found that pu5, mab

12:17 am

cybernan

sue was faster!

12:18 am

Rows

it doesn't work on linux apparently...

12:18 am

Rows

just downloaded it and it's not working

12:18 am

uusue2

ah, I think it only words on windows, rose

12:19 am

Rows

oh no :(

12:19 am

Rows

i switched to linux, since my computer is 5 years old and had windows xp on it, and xp is going to stop being supported soon

12:21 am

uusue2

can you run windows on it? in a partition or something? It's been a while since I used linux, but I seem to recall people having dual-boot systems

12:21 am

Rows

que triste

12:21 am

Rows

no, i didn't partition it

12:21 am

Rows

didn't feel the need

12:21 am

cybernan

lol - and now you do!

12:21 am

Rows

why don't the people who run this site just put babble expert as the default thing on the website/

12:21 am

rururocks

i'm guessing hugh hefner is playing tonight

12:21 am

Rows

well, it is a silly reason really...

12:23 am

uusue2

anyway I really am going to bed, see you all tomorrow!

12:23 am

Rows

me too i think

12:23 am

mab

this game is a gift really (except for ruru), jamie makes no money by it.

12:23 am

rururocks

*tucks sue in*

12:23 am

Rows

gotta get up early

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

hi ru

12:24 am

Rows

i may start playing less and less now that i can't use expert, though

12:24 am

Rows

:/

12:24 am

mab

and lickety is purely voluntary and does his list on his own and for free.

12:24 am

rururocks

why isn't it a gift for me mab? :D

12:24 am

Rows

it is rather silly, since a lot of people use macs

12:24 am

mab

can you make a separate list and put it beside the grid?

12:24 am

Rows

i get that

12:25 am

Rows

i just don't know why it can't be all web-based, since the .exe file itself is basically internet explorer when you open it

12:25 am

mab

windows and it's soon to be obsolete xp is maddening.

12:25 am

Rows

and i could, mab, just i got used to doing lickety add

12:25 am

rastapopolous

be7

12:25 am

Rows

now it's going to be annoying to do things separately

12:25 am

Rows

and yeah, that's what i'm talking about, mab

12:25 am

Rows

that's why i switched to linux

12:26 am

rururocks

wow rast.. it's miller time

12:26 am

mab

i installed linux too on another machine.

12:26 am

Rows

i tried asking my computer to open it with firefox, no dice

12:26 am

12:28 am

2:24 am

gapeach

He's helping the firemen.

2:24 am

puglet

oh! I hope he is too

2:25 am

grannyrose

that's why there is no lickety list. it is in volleymomdee's profile, though.

2:25 am

Lizlin

Hope he's safe but the volunteer firemen here do an amazing job.

2:26 am

puglet

puglet

2:31 am

grannyrose

puglet

2:31 am

gapeach

Hey there, sprite.

2:31 am

grannyrose

2:32 am

puglet

2:32 am

sprite

2:33 am

sprite

glad to hear it :)

2:33 am

grannyrose

pugs, check your emails. sent one to you also..

2:34 am

puglet

I loved that show Sprite--keeping up appearances

2:34 am

sprite

oh me too, pug, very funny show

2:34 am

gapeach

Doing better tonight, sprite. Thanks for asking.

2:34 am

puglet

ALRIGHT! :) Rose --lol

2:34 am

gapeach

How are things with you now, sprite?

2:35 am

sprite

glad to hear it, peach.

2:36 am

sprite

kinda crazy, peach, here. Son still misbehaving badly and waiting for the family meeting with the therapists on Friday. But hanging in there.

2:36 am

gapeach

You and the family are in my prayers.

2:36 am

sprite

thank you, peach. That means a lot to me.

2:37 am

puglet

Peach, have you ever gotten to go see Charles Standly there

2:38 am

sprite

can't say I have, pug... doesn't ring a bell

2:38 am

gapeach

No, hon, I haven't.

2:38 am

puglet

Has DH started his remodling yet Sprite

2:38 am

sprite

oh sorry, you asked peach. Duh me.

2:38 am

grannyrose

okay, news from the rural fire services....tomorrow is not going to be good. some fires have been reduced to 'watch and act'. tomorrow more hot, gusty winds.

2:38 am

sprite

pug, he will today. Thank God he is starting with the toilet and not the closet...

2:39 am

sprite

oh dear, bad fires, rose? Any near you?

2:39 am

gapeach

Sprite, I just sent energy to you....if you start to feel warm that is probably why. Lots of people say they do.

2:39 am

puglet

Hes a tv preacher thats from Peach's state--a very good one too

2:39 am

grannyrose

poor sprite..it never rains but it pours. *sigh*

2:39 am

Lizlin

Bugger! Hoped today was going to be the worst day :(

2:39 am

sprite

aw peach, thank you so much! I didn't feel warm, but I just felt calmer and didn't know why. Thank you :)

2:40 am

gapeach

You are so very welcome. I'm just the vehicle.

2:40 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite :)

2:40 am

sprite

hi Liz :) *hug* Are you safe, Liz?

2:41 am

gapeach

Puglet, is he on TV?

2:41 am

puglet

yes Peach and his church is in Alanta

2:41 am

grannyrose

oh, good grief. an investigation has found that a defence explosion has started on of the fires.

2:42 am

Lizlin

Nothing near here at the mo, thankfully.

2:42 am

sprite

omg rose... how sad is that

2:42 am

puglet

Has dizgranny been on yet--hope she is doing okay

2:42 am

gapeach

I just read that you said he is on TV. Do you know the channel, by chance?

2:42 am

sprite

thank God, Liz

2:43 am

grannyrose

diz was on earlier...seemed okay

2:43 am

puglet

He has his own web site and here he is on 8 and a couple other channels

2:43 am

gapeach

Liz, how close are you to the fires? And do they warn homeowners?

2:44 am

grannyrose

omg, the flames must be nearly 50 feet tall.

2:44 am

joso

hi all

2:44 am

gapeach

Thanks, hon, I will look him up.

2:44 am

sprite

hi joso *hugs*

2:44 am

grannyrose

hey joso, mate

2:44 am

sprite

rose, that is so scary :(

2:44 am

gapeach

Hi there, joso. How you doing?

2:44 am

puglet

He also has some books out too Peach by the name Dr. Charles Standly

2:44 am

Lizlin

Quite far right now peach - a long way from the major fires in the blue mountains

2:45 am

puglet

Hi Joso, hope all is well with you

2:45 am

Lizlin

Hi joso

2:45 am

Lizlin

There are some smallish fires in the area but all under control.

2:45 am

joso

hey sprite, rose, pug, liz, peach

2:46 am

gapeach

Liz, be safe.

2:47 am

grannyrose

they have arrested an 11 year old and a 15 year old for starting one of the fores.

2:47 am

Lizlin

That just sickens me. They should be heavily punished.

2:48 am

gapeach

I strongly agree, Liz.

2:48 am

grannyrose

the 11 year old is under house arrest, the 15 year old is in gaol.

2:50 am

puglet

we just had a 12 year old that took a gun to school and shot a few kids and killed a teacher then himself here in the states

2:50 am

grannyrose

omg...apparently a landlord in the foothills of the blue mountains has increased the rental on his properties to take advantage of those who are seeking accommodation because of the fires.

2:51 am

Lizlin

Another sickening thing - along with the looting!

2:51 am

puglet

thats awful Rose--taking advantage of down troden people

2:52 am

sprite

that is criminal

2:52 am

grannyrose

s'okay...the law is onto him. we have laws covering that sort of sick action.

2:53 am

puglet

dont they have help there for those homeless from these fires

2:56 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. this landlord already has been charged.

2:59 am

sprite

some people are just unbelievable :(

2:59 am

puglet

How can someone feel good about themselves by doing stuff like that?

3:00 am

grannyrose

pugs, everyone steps up to the mark to help those who are badly effected by hardship. we all acknowledge that there, but by the grace of God, go i.

3:00 am

sprite

so very true, rose.

3:01 am

sprite

oh, btw, my father just exceeded himself on4 again...

3:01 am

grannyrose

don and i contribute financially...we both went through the ash wednesday fires. me...i had 2 very young children...

3:02 am

sprite

remember that he invited me for his 80 birthday party and that I refused?
Got a letter yesterday from a friend of his, who really really thinks I should come, without me the party wouldn't be complete and she SO feels she should finally meet me...

3:02 am

grannyrose

my then husband was out fighting the fires, me i was doing first aid and cooking meals.

3:02 am

sprite

must have been so scary, rose. Things are so much worse when you have small children.

3:03 am

puglet

How do you feel about it Sprite

3:03 am

grannyrose

SPRITE....do not go there....it's too much for you. if you feel a need, send him a card...BUT THAT IS ALL!!

3:04 am

sprite

already sent him a card, lol, with my refusal in it. This is the next stage of him wanting to have his way. Never mind my feelings. He wants me on his birthday party so to hell with the rest.

3:05 am

sprite

rose and pug, no way in hell that I would go there. I have come too far to now succumb to his manipulations.

3:05 am

grannyrose

no, hun...you are what is important...you and your family...

3:06 am

puglet

why is his friend sending you this anyway

3:06 am

joso

I bet Rose felt fully alive, nothing like pitching in during an emergency to get the jucies flowing

3:06 am

sprite

but a weird sensation, getting such an intimate letter from a total stranger. Kind of... yuck!

3:06 am

puglet

I agree with Rose

3:07 am

sprite

pug, I think because he asked her. He must have told her I had reclined his invitation and asked her to try it.

3:07 am

joso

glad you are not tempted to weaken sprite. Parents reach to the core of you, hard to do what you must sometimes

3:07 am

grannyrose

lol, joso...i was exhausted. on the third day/night. we came home, had a shower and put on fresh clothes. sat down in the armchairs, and woke up the next morning...still in the armchairs.

3:08 am

sprite

you are so right about that, joso. But I have spent years in therapy to get through this. He can't manipulate me anymore. Because I won't let him.

3:08 am

grannyrose

sprite...spam it...at on4...

3:08 am

sprite

lol rose... I believe it! Such hard work and so much adrenaline... on4 you relaxed you were a goner.

3:09 am

joso

nice to know the yeas of therapy paid off

3:09 am

sprite

lol indeed, joso.

3:09 am

joso

*years

3:10 am

grannyrose

ditto on my mother....she keeps trying...but i am not biting...

3:10 am

gapeach

Well, my dear peeps, I think I need to start winding down for the night. It is so wonderful, this support group we have. Blessings.

3:10 am

sprite

blessings to you too, peach. And a big *hug*. I hope you will sleep well.

3:10 am

puglet

blessing to you Peach! night

3:10 am

grannyrose

peach...hope you sleep well, hun. see you tomorrow.

3:10 am

joso

rest well peach

3:11 am

sprite

exactly, rose. And every time they try again, they confirm so clearly all the reasons why we cannot let them. It is always only about them.

3:12 am

puglet

sprite, does your sister have a relationship with your father

3:12 am

grannyrose

yay, us, sprite...and pfft to the parents...lol

3:13 am

sprite

yes, in a way. She hates him, doesn't want him in her life, but can't manage to say no to him. He always wins the contest.

3:13 am

sprite

lol rose, you got it. Triple pffft to the parents :)

3:14 am

grannyrose

sprite, send her a link to narcissistic parents. hopefully she will understand. if not...refer her to me.

3:15 am

sprite

*giggles* She would get an earful from you, I bet!

3:15 am

puglet

Sprite - has your mother passed? You never talk about her

3:16 am

sprite

and I already did... she totally agrees that he is narcissistic and shouldn't be in her life. But... when he pushes... she succumbs. Every time.

3:16 am

joso

I am only recently starting to apresiate how lucky I was with my parents

3:16 am

sprite

no such luck, pug. She is still around. I don't have much contact with her.

3:18 am

sprite

phantoms: annoy(s), encore, condor

3:19 am

puglet

my phantom is "anyone"

3:19 am

sprite

and that one too, pug :)

3:19 am

grannyrose

and connut...someone who believes they can make YOU believe that down is up...

3:20 am

grannyrose

* connup*

3:20 am

sprite

ooooo good one, rose, that one goes into the dictionary!

3:20 am

sprite

joso, count your blessings. That is a wonderful gift in life.

3:24 am

sprite

oh and joso: you guys inspired me so much recently that I have started a new book, am writing it in english straight away (and named my he4 condor)

3:25 am

puglet

way to go Sprite!

3:25 am

grannyrose

oh, lovely, sprite...

3:27 am

sprite

if you want, you guys could be my sounding boards? I could send you each chapter as I finish it. Would you like that?

3:27 am

puglet

Oh yeah!

3:27 am

joso

shooting for the larger market right off sprite. I've been wanting to read your stuff. can you stand me asking 'are you done yet' every day?

3:28 am

grannyrose

oh, so wonderful to be involved in the writing of a new book...

3:28 am

sprite

lolllll oh yes, joso, absolutely. I do my best writing when I know some people are eager to read it :)

lol pug and Liz! Well, if joso would be game... that would be entirely possible :)

3:35 am

grannyrose

pugs, she is a bit institutionalised...but she is doing okay. DH is handling it okay.

3:36 am

sprite

ah that is very good, rose. It is so necessary that she stays there a little bit longer.

3:36 am

joso

because unruly teens so respect the wisdom of random adults, good plan lyn

3:37 am

grannyrose

sprite, she is home...just she needs to adjust her attitude...lol

3:37 am

sprite

oh dear... that is not what I expected. Very early to have her home already... please be careful with yourself?

3:38 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you're wise, but not only thinking about words!

3:38 am

Lizlin

You take care Rose, not to overdo things.

3:40 am

sprite

what's with her attitude, rose?

3:41 am

grannyrose

am handing over the reins of responsibility to DH

3:41 am

sprite

oh very good!

3:41 am

Lizlin

Good move

3:41 am

puglet

I bet shes a sweet little old lady :)

3:42 am

grannyrose

she expects us to respond to her every whim...if she had a bell, it would be going off every 5 minutes

3:42 am

sprite

ah, I see. Yes, that will have to change. Is she confined to a bed or is she ambulant?

3:43 am

puglet

would you like me to mail you one?

3:43 am

grannyrose

its amazing. the amount of dishes needing to be washed has tripled...

3:44 am

sprite

lol pug... since when are you mailing sweet little old ladies around?

3:44 am

puglet

I happen to have two cow bells and I can give you one

3:45 am

grannyrose

sprite, she is fully ambulant...but she expects one of us to be available to respond to her every whim... so not going to happen.

3:45 am

puglet

buy her a robot!

3:46 am

sprite

in very deed, rose! She will have to realise that she could very well be living all by herself and not have any help... lots of people are that way. She is so lucky to have you and Don to care for her at all.

3:46 am

grannyrose

i had to laugh,,,DH told her respiratory nurse today, that she is very institutionalised...i bet that took the nurse a bit to digest..

3:47 am

sprite

*gigges @ robot*

3:47 am

sprite

lol rose. Nurses usually don't get such professional opinions from clients.

3:47 am

joso

ah MIl, I thought you could still handle living outside, but if you need this much assist perhaps we should send you back, for your own good dear

3:48 am

grannyrose

bt it's all okay...i have trained DH well.

3:48 am

sprite

wow joso... very good. Very apt.

3:50 am

puglet

dont forget one day we all are going to be old too.And do unto others as you would want done to you

3:51 am

sprite

true, pug. But be honest... would you want to have your caretakers to overstretch themselves and hurting themselves in taking care of you?

3:51 am

joso

something i might say pug, not actually do

3:53 am

puglet

NO, but there maybe a reason for it--like feeling wanted or whatever

3:54 am

puglet

think how you are now and then get to the point of life where you cant do the things you do now--like just the simple thing of dressing

3:54 am

sprite

I see what you mean. But I do believe that to show respect to another person, whether sick or elderly or anything, you have to be honest to them too. Respect them enough to take them seriously and hold them accountable for their behaviour.

3:55 am

puglet

she may still see Rose and Don as young people with the engery of youth

3:56 am

sprite

then she will have to realise that our rose isn't a spring chicken anymore, and is in need of care herself at the moment.

3:57 am

joso

Pug, I tended my father for the last 5 years of his life, some stuff needs to be done, but you do too much and they decline faster.

3:58 am

sprite

I agree.

3:58 am

puglet

thats so true Joso---I make my sister do as much for herself as she can

4:00 am

puglet

I dread the time when I cant drive and do for myself

4:00 am

joso

though with my dad it worked the other way, it was hard to get him to accept the help he needed. A little too proud for his own good.

4:00 am

sprite

bless your dad, joso

4:00 am

puglet

which I hope to go before that time comes

4:01 am

sprite

hang in there, pug. You are far from that point, and when you come to it, that will be the time to look around and see what is possible. My friends and I say we will buy a house together then and help eachother.

4:04 am

joso

my greatest fear is loosing my mind, as long as i can read, playgames, think and question I want to continue.

4:05 am

puglet

Thats nice Sprite! and I will worry about that when it comes

4:05 am

puglet

That would bee scarey Joso, I agree

4:06 am

sprite

I am with you, joso

4:07 am

puglet

I hope I didnt upset Rose, I was being a smart *** kinda this morning! Iam feeling a mean streak here this morn

4:07 am

joso

of course I'd just as soon the rest of me continued to work well.

4:08 am

puglet

brb

4:08 am

joso

it's rose, a squirell ran by

4:08 am

sprite

can't think of anything that would have upset rose, pug. I think she just got sidetracked into dinner, cooking, MIL or nekkid husbands?

nope, that is not true, actually, pug. If you don't eat, you tell your body there is a shortage of food and it will hold on to anything with all its might. And makes you crave fatty and sweet stuff to quickly gain more fat if you do eat something.

4:19 am

puglet

thats all!

4:19 am

puglet

I need to lose like a hundred!

4:20 am

sprite

see, how well the clinic's food education is catching on with me, lol. Rose, I recommend 6 eating moments per day. Snack on healthy stuff in between meals.

4:20 am

sprite

me too, pug. At least.

4:20 am

sprite

I can honestly say that I am such a big person, I have to lose a small person to become one.

4:21 am

puglet

same here Sprite!

4:21 am

sprite

:)

4:22 am

sprite

side note: 8 left and still no 8! Just found the 7 though, lol. Am I biggie challenged or what?

4:22 am

puglet

I once lost alot but it was very hard and I starved myself plus used cleansing when I did eat

4:22 am

grannyrose

*giggle* that's what i lost after the knee replacement. 35kg, or 78 lbs.

4:22 am

sprite

awesome, rose. Wonderful job.

4:23 am

sprite

pug, if you lose weight that way, it will come back on quickly and usually more than you started with originally :( I hope you won't try that again?

4:24 am

puglet

no, I dont have that kind of willpower now adays

4:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, tu8. tu4, hollow pipe + hook letter + ***an, make less dirty

4:24 am

sprite

all for the better, pug. No use having the willpower to harm yourself.

4:24 am

sprite

thanks rose :)

4:24 am

puglet

but I can say people treat you different

4:25 am

sprite

yes, some do. People are very judgmental about obesitas. They don't realise it is an illness just like any other.

4:25 am

joso

heeee's baaaaack

4:25 am

sprite

wb joso :)

4:26 am

grannyrose

since sitting her since last may...have gained 28 1/2 lbs again. lost almost 7 lbs again...

4:26 am

puglet

thats good Rose

4:26 am

sprite

yeah, not being able to exercise is a b*tch, rose, I know. You are doing so well by taking this on anyway.

4:27 am

puglet

well not being able to do anythiing you are bound to gain

4:27 am

grannyrose

doing lite 'n' easy...

4:28 am

joso

I don't own a scale, but am down a pant size since i started the exercises

4:29 am

puglet

great Joso!

4:29 am

grannyrose

way to go, joso...am proud of your accomplishment.

4:29 am

puglet

guys loses quicker then women,I think

4:29 am

puglet

and people dont look at a man thats overweight as they do a woman

4:30 am

joso

just a drop in the bucket, only a dozen more pant sizes to go, lol

4:31 am

puglet

bet you are like Rose, just need to lose 20lbs

4:32 am

sprite

wow joso, well done!

4:33 am

joso

no pug, need to loose half of me, went from 46-44, lots of me to go around

4:34 am

puglet

Ive been overweight 99% of my life

4:34 am

puglet

thats about the same for me Joso

4:34 am

joso

only 80 % for me

4:35 am

puglet

my dad never let me forget I was the biggest either

4:35 am

puglet

I got the fat gene from both side of the family

4:36 am

sprite

that was not nice of him, pug. He should have helped you gain more self esteem and feel good about yourself.

4:36 am

puglet

that was his downfall

4:37 am

joso

I'm just lazy and self indulgent

4:38 am

sprite

fireflies

4:38 am

puglet

w2g!

4:39 am

sprite

*hugs* to you all. Have a peaceful evening and a lovely day. And be blessed L(

4:39 am

4:39 am

joso

puglet

same to you Sprite--hugs

4:42 am

puglet

Iam just alf way

4:51 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! hope your day is truly blessed

4:53 am

grannyrose

4:54 am

puglet

I bet she could of used you for strength

4:55 am

grannyrose

pugs, do you have the 7 and the 8?

4:56 am

puglet

I got the 8 not the 7

4:57 am

grannyrose

aaagghhh, give me strength..DH is still scrolling through site after site looking at bags, just like yesterday...remind me how much i love him...please.

4:58 am

puglet

4:58 am

puglet

4:58 am

joso

5:03 am

grannyrose

ugh, be*, honey making insect + **d**, someone on a horse/bicycle

5:04 am

grannyrose

hey, what happened to my response to joso? thanx for reminding me. i missed him terribly.

5:05 am

puglet

sorry Rose got the babble burb

5:05 am

joso

you didn't really need a reminder anyway, you are so besotted it's rediculous.

5:07 am

grannyrose

joso...and that is how it should be, mate. i was lucky...found it on my second attempt...

5:08 am

joso

you are a lucky lady, besotted, and to a good man, internet shopping asside.

5:09 am

puglet

5:10 am

grannyrose

yeah, joso...thanx, mate. count my blessings...yeah???

5:10 am

puglet

Rose what kind of bags is he shopping for

5:11 am

grannyrose

not sure, hun. seem like camera bags....not surprising...considering he is a photographer..

5:13 am

puglet

if that is so why dont you have some of those pictures on here, like the ones Joso wants and some of your flowers and Braxton

5:14 am

joso

I would like to see pug's, get an old bag site, what to do with grandma when you can't aford the home, site

Yay for bu5! I have one hopping around my feet now.

6:29 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs, can I ask you a question about your tooth implant?

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

hero

6:30 am

Scrabbler

And, you're my hero, by the way. LOL

6:30 am

Anniebrook

I had a temp. tooth put in yesterday and it fell out. did that happen to you? I am now concerned if the permanent one will hold. I have to wait 2 weeks for the perm. one

6:31 am

MollyL

Warm danish in the PB for all the he4 lovers : D

6:31 am

Anniebrook

oh, my goodness, thanks!

6:32 am

Scrabbler

You already have the screw embedded in your jaw bone, right? The permanent tooth will fit on the abutment which screws onto the jaw screw.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

I never had a temporary tooth because the implant was a molar. I just had a cap screwed on top of the screw. You have a front tooth so I suspect that is why you have a temporary tooth.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

*grabbing raspberry Danish*

6:34 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, I have the screw in my upper jaw. Shouldn't the temp. fit on that also? I have a birthday celebration Nov. 1 and I need that temp to stay in place. Yes that is why I have a temp. I will call the dentist later. Thanks for your imput.

6:34 am

Anniebrook

*also grabs a cinnamon danish*

6:35 am

Scrabbler

I don't know how the temporary tooth is attached. Yes, call your dentist. You are certainly paying enough money.

6:36 am

Anniebrook

when I think of how much this is costing I still gasp but the tooth is near the front of my mouth and the space is visible when I speak so I felt I had to do this.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

and btw and I still praying for the children you asked me to include in my prayers. Do you know how Nathaniel is coming along?

6:37 am

Anniebrook

*am

6:38 am

Scrabbler

I spent SO much on tooth #30 over the years, after chronic pain--filling replaced, root canal then crown, root canal failed so I had an apicoectomy (read about it--awful experience!), failed apicoectomy, then extraction, then implant...maybe $10000 total.

6:38 am

Anniebrook

Yes, this implant including all the steps (surgeon and dentist) is costing over $7000. Oy.

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Nathaniel is doing well, as are Kendra, Lexi, and Mariah. Dara is "cured" and done with chemo. Yay! She had a rare cancer.

6:40 am

Anniebrook

So happy to hear the good news about the children.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

I must depart for work now. See you tomorrow morning. Good luck with that tooth.

6:42 am

Anniebrook

thanks, scrabbs, have an easy day. the bu 5/20s made it into the grid.

6:42 am

Ah! Exchanging 'fatty jeans' for skinny ones is really good for the soul. (Not to mention the self confidence!). Good for you, Owl.

no, not fatty jeans, just less stylish jeans. levis are great for dancing in.

I have 2 sets of jeans. My fatty ones, which allow me to breathe & my skinny ones, which I have to lie down on the bed to fasten & which pulverise my innards into a squishy mess. :-(

well of course! the new blends do not age as well as the all cotton denim vintage jeans. they just start to blotch out and look sad.
